Twelve Days Of Christmas Writing Advice

And a VERY special subscription offer

This post is free but to support my work and be part of my exclusive creative writing group in 2024, please consider becoming a member – I’d love to have you on board!

Happy Winter Solstice!

Today we celebrate the shortest day, which means from tomorrow onwards it gets lighter by two minutes a day until June – we’re on an upward trajectory for Summer, hurrah!

But there is something else to celebrate today and that is a VERY special annual subscription offer in preparation for my Twelve Days of Christmas Writing Advice, which will start on Christmas Day.

If you upgrade before Christmas Eve, you’ll get 25% off an annual subscription – that means you’ll pay £37.50 a year, rather than £50 a year, just over £3 a month and that discount will apply forever – as long as you keep your annual subscription.

Usually, I keep the twelve writers secret, but this year I have decided to give you a sneak peek at some of the authors who are taking part and sharing with you the best writing advice they have ever received.

These posts will arrive exclusively in your inbox from Christmas Day until Twelfth Night to help you start your writing year fully inspired and ready to go.

Here are just some of the books these brilliant writers have written… do you recognise some of your favourites here?

I could only fit ten covers on this photo, but you can see I have some amazing names lined up for you:

There is the wonderful Clover Stroud, who has written three books, The Wild Other, My Wild and Sleepless Nights, The Red of My Blood, and forthcoming, The Giant on the Skyline. She has written a beautiful essay exclusively for you on paying attention to your creativity in every day life.

Times columnist and author of This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade, has crafted you a brilliant essay on what you should be reading as a writer.

Victoria Smith, author of Hags, is writing about that messy first draft and how we should embrace it on our journey to the final, polished thing.

Wonderful Marc Hamer, author of A Life In Nature, or How To Catch A Mole, Seed to Dust and Spring Rain, has penned you an essay about the importance of harnessing the senses in your work, among other things.

And this is just to name a few!

All of these authors have put together some incredible essays sharing exclusively with you the best writing advice they have ever received – I promise you that you won’t want to miss it.

Each day there will also be an exclusive special offer for members of White Ink who have fallen in love with these authors’ books and wish to purchase them.

And don’t forget, members of White Ink not only get:

• access to all my posts

• my full archive (which includes previous Twelve Days of Christmas Writing Advice with a whole other set of twelve brilliant fiction authors including Sunday Times bestseller Jennifer Saint, and Cesca Major, whose book Maybe Next Time was recently chosen by Reece Witherspoon for her book club)

• but you also can join my Write With Me creative writing club on zoom each month.

• And there’s that special daily offer I mentioned above – all will be revealed!

And all this for just over £3 a month?!
